Do You Find The Boat Galley Useful?

Definitely worth figuring out your boat. We thought we knew everything until we found out the hard way our port engine fuel supply line was modified not to draw from the aux tank. Also, spare parts are good to have on board. Just today we noticed the generator sounding a little loud and no water discharging… Sure enough we replaced the impeller while out on the hook and we are back in business enjoying our vacation. Good thing we had the spare impeller on us otherwise the trip would have been cut short.

I own a Caliber 40 LRC and the MCCreary’s did a fine job of labeling the hoses throughout the boat when they built the boat. Every manufacture should follow this practice. I am currently labeling select cables.

Please note: I'm currently cruising and don't have internet all the time. Comment approval may be delayed a few days!
